Al Horford won't discuss a contract extension with the Atlanta Hawks until after the season, he said Tuesday.
The Hawks center will enter the final year of a contract that will pay him $12 million in 2015-16. He will become an unrestricted free agent July 1. Then and only then, Horford said, will he think about his future. The priority is the season at hand.
“My focus right now is to get better individually and help our team be the best team that we can be,” Horford said Tuesday. “I have the same mindset and that is to help our team win and put us in a good position and try to be better.
